thanks to president george w. bush and all those democrats who supported him after 9/11, the islamic republic's most important ally today isn't syria, it's iraq. second point, iranian policymakers don't believe that syrian president bashar al assad will be overthrown, at least not by syrians. assad still retains the support of about half the syrian society, even if assad felt compelled at some point to surrender damascus, he and his forces would continue to control a significant part of syrian territory. under these circumstances syria is hardly likely to become an ally of the west. indeed, any sort of plausibly representative post-assad government isn't going to be more pro-american or pro-israel than the as cads have been -- assads have been. such a government might even be less keen about keeping syria's border with israel quiet, and that will be just find for the islamic republic. iranian officials believe that overall developments in the middle east are continuing to steer the regional balance in tehran's fav

that's a 73-point gap, tied with one other president, george w. bush. another poll shows since president obama was re-elected, just a third of voters think he has been more bipartisan. but the majority, 55% say he's been more confrontational. does this mean nothing can really get done that's meaningful in washington to solve our nation's national debt and help the economy? we have a former white house political director under president george w. bush and a former chief of staff to west virginia senator joe mansion. >> great to be here. >> eric: matt, let me start with you. how do we get here? >> well, you know, i think about the president i served, george w. bush. when he came to office, he really was concerned about trying to if i understand a way to reach across the aisle because clearly bill clinton left the presidency with high numbers. he worked with ted kennedy. he worked with democrats and signature domestic policy issues and then 9/11 happened and the wars occurred. really, the nation polarized again, right versus left. i don't think we have com
